Multnomah DA supports restoring voting rights to incarcerated people KATU Staff Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt testified before the Oregon Senate on Wednesday, where he spoke in favor of a bill that would restore voting rights to incarcerated people. Schmidt testified virtually in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Oregon Senate Bill 571 would allow people who have been convicted of a felony to register to vote and vote in elections, even while incarcerated. The bill specifies that for voter registration, the person's residence would be where they last lived prior to incarceration.
